DescriptionChicago in Flames by Currier & Ives, 1871.jpg | The Currier & Ives lithograph shows people fleeing across the Randolph Street Bridge.

"The whole earth, or all we saw of it, was a lurid yellowish red," wrote one survivor. "Everywhere dust, smoke, flames, heat, thunder of falling walls, crackle of fire, hissing of water, panting of engines, shouts, braying of trumpets, roar of wind, confusion, and uproar." | ||||||||||||||||
